Absolutely. What the scent smells like in the bottle, or on a wafting stick, or on the forearm of the sales assistant letting you sniff like you're Clark Griswald does not tell you how it will smell on yourself or the person you are buying it for. I've spent quite a bit of time around "scents", and there have been several that I was unsure about until after trying them on for a bit.

You might not like the way it smells for the first few minutes, and then when the top notes fade, you like what's left. (Honestly, I sometimes think those top notes are there just to get you to buy them in the store.)
